Michael Fawaz, Real Estate Agent

About Michael

Having closed over $1.6 billion in residential real estate sales over the course of his career—which has given him the largest market share in many local neighborhoods, and includes a handful of record high sales—Michael Fawaz is widely regarded as Newport Coast’s preeminent luxury real estate expert.

While the vast majority of his peers pride themselves on helping clients buy and sell property up and down California’s coastline, Michael employs a different approach, working exclusively within Newport Coast—the community he’s also called home for nearly two decades. A renowned expert whose name is practically synonymous with outstanding personalized service, smooth transactions, and consistent results, Michael leverages not only his incomparable local expertise to the benefit of his clients, but his unwavering passion and excitement for helping people find their dream home and achieve optimal ROI on their real estate investments.

An avid world traveler who has visited more than 40 countries and speaks Arabic and French in addition to English, Michael lived in Dubai for ten years prior to relocating to Newport Coast. Uniquely adept when it comes to working with people from varied cultural backgrounds, he offers an unmatched ability to help his clientele tap into valuable international markets in the pursuit of their most important financial objectives. Seasoned in the art of effective negotiations, he’s also hardworking and honest—not to mention determined to create success stories for each and every client he represents. Ultimately, Michael views his work as more than simply buying and selling real estate, but as a means to improve the Newport Coast lifestyle for all residents.

“As a real estate professional who’s focused on the interests of my clientele and our community for the long-term, my role is multifaceted—in helping people buy and sell homes in Newport Coast, where I’ve worked exclusively since 2002, I proceed strategically to ensure the value of the area’s homes is always on the rise,” Michael explained. “Since embarking on this journey 20 years ago, I’ve worked with the same overarching vision, which is to take care of my neighbors and my community.”

Now that he’s made the move to Compass—a tech-forward brokerage that’s revolutionizing the way people buy and sell homes—Michael supplements his knowledge, experience, and proven track record with a caliber of support that’s nothing short of groundbreaking. By investing in and leveraging technology in a manner the real estate industry has never seen, Compass is streamlining the real estate experience not only for clients, for agents as well—a fact that empowers agents like Michael to spend as much one-on-one time with their clientele as possible. Together, Michael Fawaz and Compass are an unstoppable force, ensuring both service and results certain to exceed even the loftiest expectations.

In addition to serving on the boards for a number of local organizations, including the Newport Coast Community Association, Michael supports the Corona Del Mar school, Newport Coast Elementary School, and Harbor Day School along with several charities. When he’s not working, he loves spending time with his wife and two daughters and socializing with friends and neighbors in Newport Coast.
